EXMOOR Magazine OUR TOP TEN, in no particular order...

we are right for you if: Your target audience is local

We are local to the core – in both advertising and editorial content – our readers tell us they care strongly about this and like to support the businesses we feature. We cover Exmoor, North Devon and the Quantocks. More specifically, our editorial covers an area extending to the coast in the north, and, approximately, the Quantocks in the east, Appledore in the west and Crediton in the south.

You are looking for a high-end publication

Our well-established brand is a respected, top-end quality publication. Advertisers become a highly visible part of the Exmoor business community and our excellent copy reproduction ensures that your sales message is delivered to an exceptional standard.

You value something a little more personal

We are owned and produced on Exmoor. We take pride in the fact that being an independent business rather than part of a chain enables us to react swiftly to requests and feedback from readers and advertisers alike and we are are always keen to consider joint marketing initiatives with the local business community

You want your ad to appear alongside strong content

We have a strong team of writers, photographers and sales professionals. We are dedicated to providing a quality, bespoke service, tailored specifically to clients’ needs, not a one-size-fits-all brand.

You will benefit by appealing to a wide demographic

Our appeal is widespread, with features reaching a wide male and female demographic of all ages, from children to grandparents. Our content ranges from locally-produced food, interiors and gardens, to leisure, health and local events to name but a few. We help you target your advertising accordingly and careful placement of promotions ensures best response. We have many dedicated sections within the magazine and will work with you to place you advertisement in the most appropriate area.

You care where your money goes

We have a loyal network of over 120 retail outlets, many of which are sole traders. We are also sold in M&S, Waitrose and all of the local Co-ops. Combined with our healthy subscription figures, we are confident of reaching in excess of 15,000 readers per issue – all potential customers for you.

Media pack Background information Rates, schedule & artwork Dimensions (shown actual size) Benefits & complementary extras for all advertisers Contact us

FREE FOR ALL OF OUR ADVERTISERS Access to our social media platforms – blog, Twitter and Facebook – via our editor, for your news stories and competitions. These platforms are updated approximately 12 times per week. Option to request that we run a competition or promotion with you – online or in the magazine as appropriate. You may have a special event where it would be beneficial to have back copies of the magazine. We will work with you to make this possible where appropriate.

You are keen to reach a growing online audience

You are interested in reaching the fast-growing social media community via Twitter, Facebook, our twice-daily blog and our website, especially when you have an instant message to communicate.

You want the benefits of appearing in a paid-for magazine One of the benefits of advertising in a paid-for magazine rather than a ‘freebie’ is that people do not discard it as readily and buy it because they want to read it.

You would like your ad to last

Being quarterly, the magazine enjoys a long shelf life. Many readers save their magazines and our binders and back issues are consistently popular. This means that your sales message lingers long after initial publication.

You have a modest budget

We have a number of advertising options for businesses on a small budget – with advertisements from as little as £23!

The magazine is a nice, easygoing read with lots of interesting features. It is important for the area to have a good local focus and that is what the publication is all about. Paul and Donna Berry, The Swan, Bampton

I like the magazine because it is so local to Exmoor; the articles are very interesting and there is always something in there that you can relate to. I advertise because I like it and have built a relationship with your team. My customers are the ones who read your magazine and it is quarterly so it is around for a long period of time, making it good value for money. I have had lovely feedback and more customers as a result of the ads.
